Sharanagati: Song 12 .. the Internal Depth of True Surrender Revealed by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur: 1.O merciful Lord! I have surrendered all that is meant by the words ‘I’ and ‘mine’ at Your feet. “O Lord, whatever I possess in terms of this body and its paraphernalia and whatever character I have acquired through the modes of nature - this whole sense of ego - I offer at Your lotus feet today.” 2.O Lord! I no longer remain ‘mine’. I have now become Yours alone. 3.I now understand that the word ‘I’ means the jiva who animates the material body and have thus abandoned all false egotism. Today the ego of being ‘Your own’ has entered my heart. tvadīyābhimāna: “The ego of being ‘Your own’.” This means the ego of being Your (the Lord’s) faithfully devoted follower (anugata-jan). 4–5.Everything I considered mine—my body, home, servants, brothers, friends, wife, children, personal belongings, and household—has become Yours. I have become Your servant and I now reside in Your house. 6. You are the master of the house and I am Your servant. All my endeavours are now for Your satisfaction. 7. Whatever good or bad deeds are performed by my gross and subtle bodies are no longer mine, O Lord! I am free. sukṛta duṣkṛta: “Good or bad deeds.” The state of being beyond the scope of both good and bad actions and reactions is described in Sri Mundaka Upanishad (3.1.3): “When a jiva sees the golden Lord, who is the supreme controller and the source of Brahma, they become wise, free from the reactions of both pious and impious activities, and pure, and they obtain supreme equanimity.” 8. My desires have merged with Your desires. Today, Bhakti Vinod has forgotten himself. SRILA BHAKTI VINOD THAKUR reveals internal depth of true surrender to the Lord. vor 41 Minuten · Gefällt mir · 1
